I seriously doubt any of that will work and I've got a Story about the Local News, but I'll have to tell you all about that later, besides, my Chevy Dealer is an Hour away from my House, so what with the POOR Gas Mileage of my Cruiser, well, you know, I just don't think Driving there on a Daily basis is a good idea you know...?

Also, at 90 Pounds, I seriously doubt I'll intimidate anyone at the Dealer, yes, that's right, I'm 26 and Weigh 90 Pounds, but before you Laugh, keep in mind, it's because of my Health, in fact, my 71 Year old Dad, who is Crippled and has had 4 Strokes is actually in better shape then me, so...

THANKS for the help, but I'm HOPING to figure out something else here you know...

Eh just chill. You know sometimes you gotta just treat yourself.

But seriously you gotta bitch and make some noise..

Now did you get that documented that they would fix this issue? And what does this warranty cover and not cover? Keep hammering on it and keep going up. Be nice but don't take no for an answer. While you are battling with them pick up a bottle of ATF+4 trans fluid and keep your tank topped off.. Yes its trans fluid in the powersteering.

THANKS A LOT for backing me up and all, but honestly, I didn't mean to go off on the Guy, I feel BAD about it, but Money is a real SORE Subject with me, especially at this time, so I kinda couldn't help it you know.

Also, I am Bi-Polar, plus have a Form of Autism, not to mention, am ALWAYS in SEVERE PAIN, so it doesn't take much to get me FLIPPING OUT, you know what I mean.

It doesn't help either, that my Uncle Bob, who works for the Government and makes $300,000 a Year, is ALWAYS on my case about how I spend my Money, so... In fact, he thinks it was a BIG MISTAKE Buying the Cruiser and thinks I should Sell it, then get a $500 BEATER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anyway, no, I got nothing in Writing from them. Not anything about what they would Repair anyway...

Also, I guess I should have mentioned before, that my Warranty, is only a Power train Warranty, but still, it's like I said before, I just Bought the Car last Month and they told me they'd Fix EVERYTHING at NO Cost, so I dunno what to do about it now, don't want to get nasty with the Dealer either, but may have to.

BTW...

I've heard about ATF Fluid being used instead of Power Steering Fluid, done it before myself in fact, I mean, as you already know, they are basically the same, so...

Anyway, I did actually already top off my Reservoir with Prestone Power Steering Fluid + Stop Leak a little over a Week ago, only thing is, that now, every time I'm stopped somewhere, my Reservoir OVERFLOWS and now keeps Leaking all over my Belt, causing a Squeal, which I'm not too happy about, but it doesn't last for long, so I guess it's not that big of a deal, I mean, it has to stop sometime you know and like I said, the Power Steering works just fine with no noises or anything like that...

Still though, I want to get this all Fixed ASAP and am HOPING my Uncle Bob will start to feel BAD about it all and Pay to get it Fixed for me or something, but who knows...? :/

All the above is starting to worry me. I have had my 2001 for all this time and have had not one problem of major type. It runs like new. Petrol tyres oil and filters and brakes thats all..

People like this guy is what got the guy elected... and for the record it isn't Obama money, it's MY TAX MONEY.

I can't help but laugh at all the people who voted for him expecting free handouts... jokes on you now.
Can we leave the political out of this..

Any dealer can run your VIN# and find out if all recall repairs have been done to your PT.. Remember not all recalls apply to all cars of that year.

Also if you are the original owner of the PT and you kept your address current with Chrysler they would have sent you notice that your car was part of a recall.
